Note: since version 3 deposited on HAL (above), the annexes (fifteen Excel spreadsheets files) accompany the pdf text; these files contain all the figures of the monitoring of farmers and farms during an agricultural year in the Jerid oases. This data is available to anyone who wants to enjoy to reprocess them, to combine them in an other way, to anyone who still wants to make them speak.

Many thanks to those who helped me to serve in “Coopération” despite the many difficulties, the French and Tunisian institutions that enabled me to carried out my research work and to farmers and friends who welcomed me and helped in Tunisia.
